PROFIT BY GIFT OF THE
DETROITER
ASKS REGENTS TO HOLD MONEY
Funds to be In Hands of President,
Dean and Professors at lead of
Departments
"Know all men by thest presents,
that I, John F. Dodge, of the City of
Detroit, County of Wayne, and State
of Michigan, do hereby give and do-
nate to the Regents of the University
of Michigan the sum of ten thousand
($10,000) dollars, the purpose and con-
ditions of said gift being as follows."
These were the opening words of
a deed received at the office of Dean
M. E. Cooley, of the Engineering col-
lege, yesterday afternoon when a gift
of $10,000 was received from John F.
Dodge, of Dodge Brothers Motor coin-
pany, of Detroit, the fund to be con-!
served by the regents for the purpose
of loaning to junior and senior stu-
dents in the engineeringtcollege.
"Mr. Dodge has made this gift vol-'
untarily and entirely upon his own
initiative," explained Dean Cooley in
speaking of the affair yesterday after-
noon. Some time ago the dean re-
ceived word from Mr. Dodge that he
would be glad to talk with him on
business, and it was at that time that
the big automobile manufacturer made
known his plan.
It was left to Dean Cooley to sug-r
gest suitable terms for the adminis-c
tration of the loan fund which the gift1
was to create. In explaining his mo-
tives in making such a bequest Mr.l
Dodge said: "We need engineers sor
badly today that we cannot wait for
them to earn their way through
school." It is the benefactor's plan
that the loan fund is to be used tor
assist worthy engineers who need help
to complete their college work witht
money that can be paid back afterf
graduation.
Control of the fund will be in the
hands of the president of the univer-t
sity, the dean of the college of engi-
neering and the professor at the head
of the department in which the ap-
plicant is enrolled. The monty will
be in the hands of the treasurer ofl
the university under the constant di-~
rection of the finance committee. The1
principal and interest will be loaned
to students who are juniors or seniors
in the college of engineering, not to
exceed $100 to one man per year, andl
not to exceed a total of $200 to any
one student.'
Applicants for loans from the fund
will be required to sign a note for the
amount of the loan, payable to the
treasurer of the university within twoi
years of date of graduation. The timer
may be extended at the date due ata
the discretion of the committee in1
charge. All loans shall bear interest
at the rate of five per cent from thea
date of graduation.
Providing that the fund grows int
the future to exceed the needs of itst
original purpose, the interest and such
excess shall be used to encourage re--l
search and to establish fellowships in
the college of engineering.-

PAQUALE AMAT
OPENS CONCRT
SEASONTONIGHT
NOTED II ALAN BARITONE WILL
BE HEARD AT HILL AUDI.
TORIUTM
TO BEGIN AT 8 O'CLOCK SHARP
Makes Special Journey from New
York to Inaugurate Pre-Fes-
tival Series
Pasquale Amato, the great Italian
baritone, will inaugurate the Choral
Union Pre-Festival Concert series in
Hill auditorium at 8:00 o'clock tonight.
This is the first opportunity that
local music lovers will have to hear
Signor Amato in a complete program,
and it will be a big event in the mu-
sical history of Ann Arbor.
The celebrated Italian has appeared
here twice before, in the May Festi-
vals of 1913 and 1914, and on each oc-
casion his success was unequalled by
any of the rival stars. His wonderful
voice, coupled with a genial person-
ality and a prepossessing appearance,
has given him precedence over any
concert singer who has ever sung in
this city.
Signor Amato is a native of Naples
and a graduate civil engineer. It was
not until after he had prepared him-
self for this profession that he began
to th nk seriously of developing the
qualities of his voice. Study in a Ne-
apolitan conservatory soon proved to
him that he was destined for an artis-
tic career, and he made his debut in
the Teatro Bellini in the city of his
birth. He was then engaged to sing
in Florence, where he remained for
three years. This was followed by
two seasons at the Teatro Costanzi in
Rome and engagements in Cairo, Al-
exandria, Buenos Ayres, Trieste, Ven-
ice, Moscow, Breslau and Leipsic. The
reputation which he had acquired by
tifs time secured for him the position
of leading baritone at the famous La
Scala theater in Milan.
In 1909 Gatti Cazzaza brought him
to New York to be the leading bari-
tone of the Metropolitan Opera com-
pany, which position he still holds.
His success was immediate and his
popularity in this country has in-
creased with each new engagement.
Signor Amato will make a special
trip from New York to fill this en-
gagement. He will spend the day in
Detroit and come to Ann Arbor late
this afternoon.
The seat sale has been remarkably
heavy. The out-of-town attendance
will be large, and in view of this fact
those who live in Ann Arbor are asked
to come as early as possible, so that
there will be no difficulty in seating
the audience before 8:00 o'clock, at
which time the concert is scheduled
to begin.
The following is the program which
Signor Amato will offer:
(a) Was ich sah,
(b) Die Alte Mutter ....... Edv. Grieg
(c) Zwei braune Augen,
(d) Ein Weib ................ Sinding

PASQUALE AMATO
Who Sings in Hill Auditorium Tonight
PICK 60 MEN FOR
x1-16_GLEE CLUB
Theo. Harrison Seems Well Pleased
With Material; First Tenor
Only Part Not Filled
HOME CLIII NUMBERS 60 VOICES
"Wonderful material." That was all
Theodore Harrison would say when
questioned about the 1915-1916 Glee
club last night. Mr. Harrison has
spent three days trying out men and
he is absolutely certain that this
year's Glee club will be the best that
Michigan 'has ever boasted. More
than 150 men tried out for positions,
and from this number 60 were se-
lected. The number of men having
voices of solo and quartette caliber
was remarkable, more than 25 per
cent being rated higher than B.
First tenor is the only part that has
not been entirely filled. Anyone de-
siring to try out for this. position
should report to Mr. Harrison at the
Music school Wednesday at 4:15
o'clock. The first rehearsal will be
held at 7:10 o'clock Thursday even-
ing in the Adelphi rooms in Univer-
sity hall.
The home club will number 60
voices this year, and the first concert
will be given some time between
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fol-
lowing are the names of those who
have been elected into the club:
